Canada, ON: Wolfe Island Spring Craft Brewery launched on the largest of Ontario’s 1000 islands

A small brewery affiliated with a restaurant on the largest of Ontario’s 1000 Islands has launched its first beers, including one that uses a very unique item in its brewing process, Canadian Beer News reported on June 28.

Wolfe Island Spring Craft Brewery has been founded by Casey Fisher, owner of the Wolfe Island Grill, with both businesses named after the island in Lake Ontario where they are located.

Brewmaster and partner René Ziegelmaier has developed four inaugural brands for the brewery including Billy Bishop Red Ale (5.2% abv, 35 IBU), Lighthouse Lager (4.2% abv, 18 IBU), Orange White (4.8% abv, 12 IBU), and the signature Wolfenstein Cannonball Ale.

All of the beers are made using water from the artisan springs that run beneath the brewery, and ingredients from local farms are also used where they fit the style of the beer.

Wolf Island Spring beers are available at the Wolfe Island Grill and The Mansion – another establishment owned by Fisher – as well as other select bars and restaurants in Kingston. They will also be featured alongside several other local breweries in the beer garden at the Rendez-Vous 2017 Tall Ships Regatta in Bath on July 7th to 9th, and Wolfenstein is currently going through approvals for LCBO sales, with 473 ml cans expected to be available in stores this October.
